i picked a bad time to look at the timeline

@alienmelon my guess is SEO flooding yeah. if you're a sellout enough that you want to smear an ad post on your blog (if you even have a blog that caters to that sort of stuff) i'm guessing you do get paid for it. explains a lot of super small-time game blogs that get flooded with posts about casino games pitching a website

i always just replied with "absolutely! just make an account right there on the page" (at this point computer fairies had open registrations) and the follow-ups stopped.

@alienmelon i'm pretty sure it's boilerplate, the ones we got were very professional sounding too. except for the part that they were very impressed with a blog that didn't exist

@alienmelon i haven't gotten a single email to that regard that hasn't been machine-generated spam. computer fairies (a mastodon instance, not a blog) would constantly get emails asking for that sort of stuff. not sure what made the scraper bots identify it as a "blog"

@ultranurd no i didn't get that they were both ads either!! i was only sarcastic on the "great" like "i love the downfall of the internet"

@ultranurd great!

@ultranurd interesting that the bottom one is an ad but the top one isn't
